Fuschia into 2009




Since the speech, I can't stop thinking about this picture. The Obama ladies, all coordinating, with these gorgeous fuschia-pink dresses. Before this picture, I knew that I wanted this color incorporated in my daughter's future, room re-design. Before this idea for Olivia's room, the last time I met this color in all it's splendor was back in 1991 (I was ten years old.) The color theme for my aunt's wedding - frilly, crazy, lacy, bright fuschia.

It always amazes me when a fashion trend returns but returns with grace. Modern, and this time around, pleasing to the eye.
